Blood Omen 2 could use work.
That might be the weakest entry into the franchise at least it's still more fun then other games out there

Not sure what's wrong about Soul Reaver 2, Seems to be still good to me. But the first Soul Reaver could be improved. Such as a better save system for starters, Doesn't matter where you save it still takes you back to the beginning area of the game
apparently there's a remake happening too.
Soul Reaver 1 has plenty of glitches when played on new operating systems (and even those not-so-new, lol), but - admittedly - I haven't tried all the patches, so I assume some of them could mitigate the problem:

Soul Reaver 2 has aged greatly in comparison, aside from crashing sometimes. Looks great on widescreen, no audio problems.
Guess it's a bit like apples and oranges. I like SR2 better.

Devil May Cry had the same save system.
Probably intentionally to introduce "fake difficulty", there's no real technical limitation on why they did it.

Oh the patches work good for Soul Reaver 1 on PC
go here for patches

You can get the game running at 60 fps and a few other things with a patch, I also needed a patch so i can use my Logitech F310
after all that the game is great on Win 10.

I don't think that's a poor save system at all. It also had checkpoints.

In "Divine Divinity" it's the very first game of the ENTIRE Divinity franchise released in 2002, the protagonist and person you play as in "Divine Divinity" is someone you Divinity vets may know as
Spoiler:
Lucian the Divine. Yup Barbarian boi became Lucian the Divine, the eventual final boss of Divinity: OS II.
I mean
Spoiler:
Divinity II takes place AFTER Divinity: OS II, so he EVENTUALLY becomes a "good guy" again, but still, a lot of the stuff he did was extremely shitty.
So yeah, I explained because I figured no one would make the connection as majority of people who've played the Original Sin games haven't played most of the OG Divinity titles, and even if you've played Divinity II, probably even less of you have played Divine Divinity.
Originally posted by SurturWhat was wrong with DMC3? I never got to play the original (and don't imagine why I'd want to now-a-days, honestly, save system aside.)
The only DMC game I remember where the save system truly got a lot of complaints was DMC 3. To the point where they put out a special edition of the game.

Don't remember any checkpoints, Not in the PS2 version.
It sets you all the way back to the start of the level. The only thing you keep is some unlocks and orbs.
Originally posted by cdtmI absolutely remember there being checkpoints if you lost to a boss specifically.

Edit: nvm, you right. That's weird though, I coulda sworn they had checkpoints.
